Tile Design Patterns


Tile Patterning is a design options that many people don't even consider. Yet it's one of the best ways tile can be used to express a personal style. Pattern options are almost endless and each can dramatically change the look of a room.

Hints for getting started:

  • Never assume a room is perfectly square - always square off from the center and begin pattern along one edge.
  • To avoid rough edges on tile, always float the floor to a level state before installating tile.
  • Always round to the next highest footage when calculating square footage of tile needed.

Below you'll find a variety of tile patterns to liven up the surfaces in any room. A dark outline on a pattern indicates where tiles begin to repeat. The key below each pattern tells you the approximate number of pieces per 100 square or linear feet of each tile size required to create each pattern.
